Obsidian Codex double LP is at pressing plant and we are currently awaiting test press(es). In the meantime here are 2 songs from the album. Craft of Dissolution which originally was a song from our 7" on Drakkar Productions and Rites of Ascension which was part of the Promo MMX tape. There are 8 parts to Obsidian Codex with interlocking pieces provided by Fnrssn of Vanargandr cult. The album is 93 minutes of suffocating Black Metal in the Vassafor tradition and will be released by Parasitic Records

This year will also see 3 Vassafor split releases being recorded with NZ allies. The first will be a split 12" between us and Sinistrous Diabolus to be released on a UK label, further in the year releases are planned with Anno Domini Mortus and Vanargandr respectively. More information on all of these will come closer to the time. A compilation of metallic versions of Cold Meat Industry band songs will also feature a cover of a MZ412 track done within a suitably Vassaforian framework

The next live rituals manifest in Sydney on March 31st where Vassafor headlines the final night of The Devils Arcana followed by our Auckland appearance alongside USBM leaders Inquisition on June 6th, link here....other rituals are being formulated including an outdoor performance to scar peoples minds....

Obsidian Codex will easily rank as one of my favourite albums this year, and with some of the bands putting out new efforts in 2012, that's no easy task! Total support for this incredibly suffocating and consuming album. Great work Phil, I've been listening to it every fucking day.
